Tik Tok: All about the new trend of sugar waxing (sugaring)
Beauty trends on Tik Tok are quick, easy, and sometimes surprisingly effective. Hair removal with sugar is no exception. In fact, this method has been known since ancient times in the Middle East. Of course, once again it all meets with the beauty icon of all time, the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, who is said to have applied it herself. Indeed, in Persia and Egypt, hair removal played an important role in daily life. The advantages of the sugar wax method include pain relief, safety for sensitive skin, and low heat. In addition, applied over a long period of time, can lead to less hair regrowth. Therefore, in times of social distancing not only in Vietnam but also in many countries around the world, the "Tik Toker" has revealed this beauty secret and developed a quick recipe that you can do yourself at home with just 3 steps. The ingredients: Water - Sugar - Lemon.
The dosage you need to use to prepare is 1 cup of sugar + 1/4 cup of water + 1/4 lemon juice. Put this mixture on the stove and stir until it turns a nice golden color. You can drop a few tablespoons of the mixture that is boiling on the stove into a glass of cold water, if the mixture thickens and can be rolled/rolled without sticking, the sugar wax has been successfully cooked. Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar and let it cool. When cooled, the mixture will have a malt-like consistency, and is suitable for use in the home hair removal process.
When bleaching, you apply the same method as other waxes. That is, evenly apply the wax to the area to be removed, wait for a minute for the wax to adhere to the skin, then gently peel the wax in the opposite direction of the hair growth to perform the hair removal process. It is the gentle advantages and benign ingredients that in recent times sugar wax has been very popular in some countries. Through the social network Tiktok, brands have also initially seized the opportunity to promote sugar wax products to consumers.
Hopefully this method will effectively support you in cleaning your skin on these days of temporary isolation at home.
